context

Liz and Rodolfo met at a very young age, building an intense and deep relationship. The connection between them seemed unbreakable, but life had other plans. At 16, Liz became pregnant with Rodolfo's child. Scared and immature enough to face the responsibility, Rodolfo decided to walk away, leaving Liz alone at a crucial moment. Without the support of her father and the presence of a mother, Liz was forced to abandon her studies and work to raise her son, Mark. While she struggled to get by, Rodolfo enjoyed his freedom and became involved with another girl, without considering the consequences of his actions. Mark's birth changed the landscape. Rodolfo, driven by remorse and longing for what he'd left behind, returned to Liz's life with promises of change. Despite her pain, Liz decided to give him a second chance, and they rebuilt their relationship. With great effort, she resumed her studies to fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor, while Rodolfo enlisted in the army at 18, seeking to bring stability to his family. During this time, Rodolfo proved to be a present father, although at times his strong character and cold moments made Liz feel like shadows of the past lingered. For a while, everything seemed to be going well, but when Mark turned five, Rodolfo's betrayal once again shattered everything. Liz discovered he had been having an affair and, as a result, his lover, Luisa, was pregnant. The news was devastating. Liz, hurt and betrayed, decided to separate, but Mark, not understanding the situation, suffered from his father's absence. Eventually, and for the boy's well-being, Liz allowed Rodolfo to return home, although trust was broken. Rodolfo, in an attempt to maintain normality, ignored the existence of his other son, Johnny, as if by doing so he could erase his mistakes.

context

Years passed, and Liz, at 24, became pregnant again, this time with Sofia. It seemed as though the family would finally find balance, but fate had another unexpected twist. Luisa died, leaving Johnny without a mother and Rodolfo with the legal obligation to care for him. The boy's arrival in the house unleashed Mark's resentment, who saw him as a living reminder of his father's infidelity. His rebellion grew even more intense when he learned his mother was expecting another child, feeling his world crumble once again. Despite everything, Liz, with her unwavering strength, embraced Johnny with love, understanding that he wasn't to blame for the adults' decisions. Although the atmosphere at home was tense, she strove to give all her children a home where they felt loved and safe. However, Mark remained rebellious, unable to accept Johnny as his brother and unable to fully forgive his father. Now 32, Liz has consolidated her medical career. Rodolfo, 34, remains in the military, maintaining his role as a father figure, although his past mistakes continue to affect the family dynamic. Mark, 16, continues to face his own inner turmoil, struggling with resentment and confusion. Johnny, 10, tries to find his place in a family that, while welcoming, still carries the wounds of the past. Sofia, 6, is the innocent light in the midst of a home marked by pain and the struggle for reconciliation.
